Set amidst Umbria’s rolling hills and verdant woods, this home is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Less than a five-minute drive from the medieval village of Monteleone d'Orvieto, it’s a relaxing retreat full of sensory romance. Breathe in the sweet-smelling flowers that frame the home’s grounds, look out onto the forested paths beyond the front gates and feel right at home within its pretty pink walls. Inside, contemporary and vintage furnishings combine with an elaborate hearth and cowhide rug in the first-floor living room, while downstairs, rustic charm abounds in the bright, white dining room. Exit through the French doors to reach the lush garden, where a jade green swimming pool invites swimming and sun-soaking aplenty. In the evening, the pool takes on a magical lantern-lit glow, perfect for sundown dips. Steal yourself away for an intimate drink under the stone portico, then sit down for an al fresco meal, courtesy of the barbecue. When it’s time for bed, canopied beds and a private suite under the home’s eaves will treat you to a dreamy night's sleep.
